When I was at Australian Quilt Market last year, I fell in love with Sedef’s Monthly Sampler Mini. It’s just so quintessentially sweet, and a great chance for me to finally attempt sewing illustration – a technique I’ve been wanting to try for a while! The pattern also includes a Southern Hemisphere version, so I’ll be using that for my… Read More

As I mentioned last week, one of my main personal goals is to finish 12 UFOs (unfinished objects) this year – one per month. The main reason why is to remove the emotional, mental, and physical clutter that’s caused by having these projects lying around. And one per month is totally doable! To start with, I sat down and listed… Read More

Over the weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a class with Denyse Schmidt. A friend had to back out after the cancellation period had passed, so she asked if anyone could take her place. This was just before my birthday, so I not so subtly suggested to my husband that this would be a great birthday present! He… Read More

I knew heading into designing Girt By Sea that I needed to make this quilt for myself (as opposed to just my border for the pattern sample!), but that I needed to make it in the colours of Australia. From a sunburnt desert centre through to the oceans that surround my island home, and deeply inspired by the poem My… Read More

Well, sort of. You see, I fell in love the with the Rajah quilt and its story at the Making of The Australian Quilt exhibit. And very soon after, I heard about the AQC challenge theme – Made In Australia: Flora and Fauna. A light bulb went off in my head! Why not make a modern medallion quilt using fabrics… Read More

Last month, I taught my Aurora pattern at Amitie. Not only did I have a blast, and loved seeing what my students came up with, but I had the chance to sew along a bit myself! I had to sew some examples along the way, so why not sew a whole new Aurora quilt?! It was the perfect opportunity to… Read More

Whoop whoop! The Tula Pink City Sampler quilt along is on the downhill ride to that number 100 block. Today’s block is day 58, but it’s more satisfying to share the first 50 blocks (and easier to collage, ha!), such a nice round number! So you’ll have to pop across to Instagram – @blossomheartquilts – to see the past week’s blocks. In the meantime, check… Read More

Pssst… wanna know a secret? I may be showing you the first 10 blocks today, but I’ve sewn about 25 of them now, and cut about 10 more. Holy smokes, I really am keeping up with this project! I had thought I would, given that I’m so excited to be making this for our bed, but when you actually do… Read More

This ended up being quite the long post, but please be sure to at least check out the end – some important destashing questions I need you to answer! With The Big Move back to Australia looming on the horizon early next year some time, the need to start preparing has hit with urgency earlier than one might have expected…. Read More

I’ve never been the kind of quilter who just plows through one project at a time and churning out finishes – I’m always dabbling here and there… the pile of WIPs can attest to that! Likewise, I’m not the kind of blogger who shares regular lists of WIPs, which means sometimes I look back and feel like I haven’t been… Read More
